Junior Golf Notes:
Padraig Harrington Junior Open.
The inaugural Padraig Harrington Open Scotch Foursomes Tournament took place last Friday at Dungarvan Golf Club. With the course in fantastic condition and beautiful weather, Juniors from all over the province took to the course and proceeded to show the potential that the Munster Branch of the GUI are hoping to develop. Three pairings broke par and another two equaled par. Speaking at the presentation, Vice Captain Roger O'Connor welcomed all the participants and expressed his delight in the success of the tournament. In reply, Michael Murphy, Junior conveyor Munster Branch expressed his satisfaction that the coaching programs were showing reward. The main sponsor, Tadhg Harrington, expressed his delight with the success of the tournament, and apologised for the absence of his brother, Padraig, who was playing in the States. However, Padraig will attend next year and the tournament will go from strength to strength. Another feature of the event was a clinic conducted by Head Professional and County Coach, David Hayes and Padraig's Fitness Coach, Dr. Liam Hennessy. David showed his prowess by hitting shots with his eyes closed and Liam put the Juniors and some adults through some fitness stretching. In all a great day was had by everyone. The winners of the tournament were Warren DeCourcey and David Whitty from Faithlegg who covered the back nine in 31 shots to win on a countback with 70 gross. As part of their prize, Padraig has invited the lads to a short game lesson at his house. Winners of the nett were local players, Jack Mullaney and Michael Maher, who shot a brilliant 63.
